The staff is helpful to my needs, but the location was a bit scary for solo traveler (gals)

Bed was rough, I had a hard time falling to sleep. The bed was so hard on the top bunk. Waking up with a stiff back! There weren't parking at site. I had to go a block away for it. It was an uneasy feeling to felt while traveling there.

Bad area in East Oakland, I did not feel safe at all. The property is absolutely horrible. The room itself is dirty smells terrible no soap, no toothpaste, no shampoo only toilet paper. It smelled like dirty people were in my room 2 minutes prior to me coming in and having some dirty sex....cannot drive out without having to remove many locks. Under no circumstances will I ever spend another night in this place...

The location is great, but also not so great since the civic center section of SF is right next to the rough Tenderloin section, and Market St always has lots of crazies floating around. I needed to be near the Civic Center and this hotel was perfect, close to BART (literally a station is less than half a block away), and close enough to Caltrain (about a 30 min walk). I did not care for the common bathrooms and showers, nor did I like having to leave my key behind at the front desk every time I left the hotel. The decor is very dated, but that doesn't bother me personally, and they offered donuts and coffee in the mornings.
If you are looking for a place to rest your head, and you are not easily grossed or creeped out this hotel will be a bargain if you need to stay downtown. If you can afford to spend several hundred dollars a night, then you would be better off finding a more luxurious hotel.

Mediocre 2.5

place was creepy. stayed for four hours. woke up and canceled the rest of the stay. cheap prices but very creepy setting. kinda dirty, rough neighborhood. no bathrooms or shower in room. weird system of turning the key into the office each time you leave. stayed at the good hotel around the corner for a few dollars more.. way better options around.

didn't like a thing other than the old timey record playing in the lobby.

Location! location! Couldn't ask for a better spot. Right on the corner of Columbus and Broadway. You can see right down China town! Excellent food in the area and lots of history too! It is right above a strip club, but it is the first nude club ever in the US! Your also only 20mins from fisherman's wharf. Its right in the heart of the jazz area as sell as little Italy so lots of great Italian food. The Stinking Rose restaurant is right across the street and serves every thing garlic flavored. Even ice cream! Over all for the price, great place to stay. I will be back.

Shared bathrooms.... more like a hostel then a hotel. Really not that bad though. They are cleaned on a daily.

There's a muni station close by so you can get out into the city faster. Hah.

This has to be the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The pictures are false advertising. There was no air conditioning which is horrible because during the day it was mid to high 80's and imagine no air flow. The rooms are SMALL and musty. The bed takes up the entire room(its not even that big) and then maybe you have a foot of walkway? Sketchy rooms too.. just doesn't feel very safe. If it could get any worse, the toilets were almost always clogged. The restrooms and bathrooms just felt incredibly insanitary.

There was no bathroom in the room; only one common bathroom on our floor. The floors squeaked with every step, and the windows didn't keep out any knows. The room was not very clean and smelled of mildew.

Prices are either the average per night price per room or first night of stay. You can select to display the prices with or without our estimate of taxes & fees (which may not appear on provider's booking page but will be charged at hotel checkout). Before you complete your reservation, verify the total cost on the provider's site. Prices and availability are not guaranteed.

Here's why:

We’re not the seller
At KAYAK we don’t set prices, so it’s not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.

We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.

Why aren’t prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
